It's Main Event Time!
Action is nearly set to get underway for Day 2 of the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) WCOOP-91-L: $55 NLHE [8-Max, NLHE Main Event]. The $55 buy-in game guaranteed $1.5 million, but they crushed that during a huge Day 1 with more than 35,000 entries. With late registration open until Day 2 action kicks off, the current prize pool of $1,861,400 will certainly still get bigger.
At the end of Day 1, there were some 8,600 players with stacks remaining for Day 2 play, but a significant number of players are still looking to take advantage of late registration to star Day 2 with a starting stack of 25,000. With play on Day 2 starting at Level 18, Blinds: 900/1,800 (225), new entries will get into the game with just under 14 big blinds, which might be ideal for short stack specialists. Already, nearly 1,000 players have jumped into the game overnight to try their hand with 4 bigs.
Lots of players chose to try and build a bigger Day 2 stack during Day 1 however. "Rina-666666" was the most successful at that, putting more than 630,000 into their virtual bag at the end of the night. Seven players bagged more than 500,000, and quite a few players will come into Day 2 with 400,000+.
There are a few PokerStars notables among the bigger stacks as well. Newly minted ambassador Sam "SamSquid" Grafton is one of the players with more than 400,000, while Lasse "Wistern" Jagd Lauritsen bagged more than 300,000 to end Day 1. Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes, Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle, Fintan "EasyWithAces" Hand, and Mason "Pye_Face21" Pye also bagged top 1,000 Day 1 stacks, but there are some other pros lower down the list still as well.

Prize Pool Tops $2 Million as Cards go In the Air
The prize pool for WCOOP-91-L: $55 NLHE [8-Max, NLHE Main Event] just capped $2 million with minutes to go until cards go in the air. Nearly 4,000 players have bought in since the end of Day 1, eager to try their hand in this one with 14 big blinds to start.
The total field is now over 40,000 to start Day 2, with more than 12,500 players in action for Day 2. Day 2 plays until 160 players remain, so settle in, it could be a very long Day 2.

Final Field Set at 40,291 Entries for $2,014,550 in Prizes
Nível 18
: 900/1,800, 225 ante
Overnight entries for this game were hot, and more than 4,000 players jumped into the game before Day 2 action kicked off. That brought the overall total to 40,291 with more than 12,600 returning for Day 2.
The final prize pool of $2,014,550 is more than 33% better than the $1.5 million guarantee, so the $55 version of the Main Event was a smashing success by all accounts.
The field is playing down quickly now with fewer than 11,500 left in action. There are 5,663 paid spots available, so while they are still some 6,000 players away from that, early speed indicates they might get there quickly.
First place today will get $193,654, with everyone who makes the final table guaranteed nearly $13,000. Full payout details will be published shortly.
